And don't let anyone tell you that six is not enough. They don't know, and neither do I. It's a crap shoot out there.
6 is probably enough until the crap starts shooting back.

It doesn't appear that there are many folks present in this thread who were TRAINED to fight with a revolver.
But there are 8 pages here of folks trying to convince each other that none of them knows what they are doing. Maybe they are all right.
What would Bill Jordan do or say?
Bill Jordan and Skeeter Skelton are turning over in their graves!
Alvin York needed more than six shots.
Unless the pin stabbed back! lolzWell said Kleanbore. Basically this thread is akin to scholars in the Middle Ages arguing about how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.

OH, NO HE DIDN'T! He RELOADED!
Something I've noticed....
Back when revolvers ruled the LEO landscape, the prevalent tactic in a gunfight was "double-tap & evaluate". Seemed to work pretty well then...
I was originally trained to fight with a six-banger Colt DA revolver. When I got to life sustaining ability with that, THEN I was trained to fight with an auto....1911A1......the old guy who trained me back in the day said that "if you can keep alive with six, then seven in the mag and one in the spout should be a mite easier."It's difficult to find someone to teach managing a revolver's trigger at speed, much less fighting techniques.
Too funny!!
I'm pretty certain that, over the decades, our officers have become less and less likely to be feloniously killed.
Are you also taking into account the use of bullet-resistant vests & improved medical treatment? What about eliminating the incidents where the officer never fired a shot?
A better measure is to compare the number of perps stopped to the number of rounds fired. And I'm pretty sure those results won't favor the autoloader as much as you think....
FBI studies show violent assaults often involve multiple assailants. .......................................................Did you mean often, or sometimes? I find it hard to believe that most encounters are multiple assailants. Did they leave out rape, domestic assault, and other things, and only include gang related incidents? What can we refer to?
